Aktueller Software Markt criticized the speech synthesis but recommended the game to the fans of the genre. [3] The One compared the game positively to Wesson International's RAPCON (1990) but also criticized the voices and concluded: "The lack of aesthetic pleasure however is more than made up for by the challenge and intensity that's generated." [2] Amiga Format called the game "a strong low-level control sim; that is complex enough to challenge but friendly enough to use." [4] Amiga Action summarized: "This game is not going to appeal to everyone, but for those of you who enjoy this type of thing Tower Fra is brilliant." [1] Amiga Power called the game "fairly boring".
